Birdhouse

Charming studio apartment hidden in a steep, winding and picturesque cobblestone road in the peaceful part of the medieval city of Motovun. As a part of a eclectically refurbished 18th century house built on top of the second defence wall with a breathtaking view of the tranquil surroundings -vineyards and olive yards spread over the hills scattered with sleepy little villages, and overlooking rooftops of the houses in the neighborhood… The space After just a couple of steps up the inner staircase, one enters into what is the real jewel of the house: a calming, stylishly refurbished apartment accommodating 2 persons. What used to be just a floor in a classical 18th century Istrian house has now been meticulously redecorated to become a stylish accommodation unit delicately combining various styles and époques, aimed at providing an entirely new aesthetical dimension. The place abounds with beautiful little artefacts and design details catching the occupant’s eye at every corner some of witch were (re)made in the art studio situated in the basement. The 50 square meter apartment consists of a living and dining area, one bedroom, a small but fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom as well as a loggia. Apart from the magnificent views and early morning bird song you are welcome to enjoy a variety of books from the library, great selection of vinyl records or simply close your eyes and immerse yourself in the sound of silence. Other things to note Steep cobblestone roads in Motovun old town where the apartment is situated are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible and present a significant challenge to persons with mobility issues and disabilities
